Swiss canton Graubünden remains a magnet for cross-border commuters after 30 years
The Swiss canton of Graubünden continues to be a hub for cross-border workers, with the latest figures showing a significant number of commuters crossing the borders daily. The Moesano region, particularly the municipality of Grono, has maintained its status as the top destination for these workers for the past three decades.
As of 2021, Grono in the Moesano region hosts the highest number of cross-border workers, a situation that has persisted for 30 years. The Moesano region as a whole has 763 cross-border commuters, with 218 of them working in Grono alone. This trend is not unique to the Moesano region. The Bernina region also sees a substantial number of cross-border commuters, with a total of 1,402. Brusio and Poschiavo in this region have 524 and 878 cross-border workers respectively.
The Maloja region, however, leads the pack with a staggering 5,082 daily cross-border commuters. This region, located in the southeastern part of Graubünden, has 570 cross-border workers in the valley south of Maloja. These numbers contribute to the overall total of 10,148 cross-border commuters working in Graubünden by the end of September.
The high number of cross-border commuters in Graubünden, particularly in the Moesano and Maloja regions, reflects the strong economic ties and opportunities that exist across the borders. These workers play a significant role in the canton's economy, contributing to its growth and development.
